The destruction of this site is something Christian Crusaders could hold as a goal. Ammonia Nitrate truck bomb sounds doable.
GEEZ! Live and learn. That's the first time I've ever heard that buried deep insid the "borg" (hahaha - love it) cube is the "Black Stone of Kaaba" and it's a freakin meteorite. Maybe it fell from the sky and killed Mohammed's fav camel or something. Anybody know?
I think right after 9/11 they should have waited until the Haj -the thing where 11 MILLION muslims run in circles around the Borg Cube - and they should have brought in Bombardier water bombers full of PIG GUTS AND BLOOD and let'em have it. Splooosh. They'd all go freakin MAD! It's WAAAY worse than shooting them!
There is NO reason (other than terminal PC) why, if they can condone the attack on the WTC etc that we shouldn't be open to using time "honored" techniques of knocking muslim insurections back a few hundred years. The British did it to great success. They'd round up a bunch of obvious suspects and execute say, 8 out of 10 and while the 2 survivors watched they would chuck the dead dudes into a pit full of pig guts and poo thus ensuring the dead guys NEVER got to go to Allah-land. Then they let the 2 free. By 6Am the next day the insurection was DEAD!
BTW I've asked 3 Muslims - one a univesity prof, one a very well known lawyer and another guy who is just super rich - what would happen if the Borg Cube was nuked or otherwise destroyed. The reaction was scary. Within two minutes 2 of the 3 were crying like babies and rocking back and forth. The other guy was almost catatonic and started to pray and didn't hear anything else I asked. All of them (before they flipped) said that it would be "the end ... the end of everything .... the end ... man ... end ..." Like that. These were all seperate incidents. They all acted the same way and these guys were all very well educated, world travellers and very rich and very "westernized." Their reaction was startling to say the least.
I guess it's nice to know that that may be the ace in the hole if things go wonky and we do need to do something like that in the future. My take is that 90% of them would simply go insane.
